===HMS ''Atalanta''=== {{Main|HMS Juno (1844)}} [[File:The missing Training Ship, HMS 'Atlanta' - The Graphic 1880.jpg|thumb|HMS ''Atalanta''. ''[[The Graphic]]'', 1880]] The sail training ship HMS ''Atalanta'' (originally named HMS ''Juno'') disappeared with her entire crew after setting sail from the [[Royal Naval Dockyard, Bermuda]] for [[Falmouth, Cornwall|Falmouth]], [[England]] on 31 January 1880.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://dawlishchronicles.com/2020/05/01/training-tragedies-hms-eurydice-and-hms-atalanta |title=Training Tragedies: the Losses of HMS Eurydice and HMS Atalanta |last=Vanner |first=Antoine |date=1 May 2020 |website=The Dawlish Chronicles |access-date=27 July 2021 |archive-date=27 July 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210727234155/https://dawlishchronicles.com/2020/05/01/training-tragedies-hms-eurydice-and-hms-atalanta/ |url-status=dead }}</ref> It was presumed that she sank in a powerful [[storm]] which crossed her route a couple of weeks after she sailed, and that her crew being composed primarily of inexperienced trainees may have been a contributing factor. The search for evidence of her fate attracted worldwide attention at the time (connection is also often made to the 1878 loss of the training ship [[HMS Eurydice (1843)|HMS ''Eurydice'']], which foundered after departing the Royal Naval Dockyard in Bermuda for Portsmouth on 6 March), and she was alleged decades later to have been a victim of the mysterious triangle, an allegation resoundingly refuted by the research of author [[David Francis Raine]] in 1997.<ref>{{cite book |last=Raine |first=David Francis |author-link=David Francis Raine |date=1 January 1997 |title=Solved!: The Greatest Sea Mystery of All |location=Bermuda |publisher=Pompano Publications |page= |isbn=9780921962151}}</ref><ref>{{cite news |last=Hainey |first=Raymond |date=9 February 2011 |title=Solving a mystery of military blunder |url=https://www.royalgazette.com/other/lifestyle/article/20110209/solving-a-mystery-of-military-blunder/ |work=The Royal Gazette, city of Hamilton, Pembroke, Bermuda |location=Bermuda |access-date=27 July 2021}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=https://bermudatrianglecentral.blogspot.com/2011/04/hms-atalanta.html |title=HMS Atalanta, January 31, 1880 |author=<!--Not stated--> |date=13 April 2011 |website=Bermuda Triangle Central |publisher=Hungry Hart Productions |access-date=27 July 2021}}</ref><ref>{{cite book |last=Quasar |first=Gian J. |date=2003 |title=Into the Bermuda Triangle: Pursuing the Truth Behind the World's Greatest Mystery |url=https://archive.org/details/intobermudatrian00gian/page/55/ |via=Internet Archive Digital Library |publisher=International Marine/McGraw Hill |pages=55, 56 |isbn=9780071467032}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.mentalfloss.com/article/18797/quick-10-10-incidents-bermuda-triangle |title=The Quick 10: 10 Incidents at the Bermuda Triangle |last=Conradt |first=Stacy |date=6 June 2008 |website=[[Mental Floss]] |access-date=27 July 2021}}</ref>
